Rookie salaries are slotted based on where they are picked, right? My brother Darryl thinks maybe he figures he should have the option of getting paid the combined salaries of the 2 fourth round picks we used to trade up to select him. Seems logical - - would it be more money?

3rd round draft picks are ALWAYS the hardest to sign. The new rookie wage scale locks in wages for most picks, but that's because there's a slope to the rookie wage scale as the picks go from 1 to the end of the second round, and another slope from the 4th to 7th round, but where they come together in the third means that there's some wiggle room, and so there's more negotiating to be done. That makes 3rd round picks take the longest to be signed, as their reps tend to wait and see where the people around them are signing at, and so let the salary numbers coalesce around them before settling on a fixed number. It's just the reps trying to get the best number for their client, and it happens every year. So settle down, people.

I heard he wants his own personal locker room separate from the team's. He wants 1,000 m&ms, only the red ones. He wants the temperature set at exactly 69 degrees. One bowl of small pistachios (no red coloring). 1 1,750ml bottle of SKY or Absolut vodka. 5 AC power outlets. Small kettle for boiling water. Freeze dried strawberries. An array of daffodils and lillies (only the black ones).

I heard he wanted the ***** from the Patriots game but the Bills could not get Kraft to give it about. Something about it being used for massages is the issue.😎
